"One can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age I always did it for one half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

THIS PRESIDENT FAILED TO CREATE AN INTERNATIONAL COLLITION TO FIGHT MUSLIM TERRORISTS AND THEN STARTED A UNI-LATERAL WAR AGAINST THEM, ONLY TO SECURE TRADE IN A VALUABLE COMMODITY THIS WAR-MONGERING PRESIDENT DAMAGED THE ABILITY OF OUR ARMED FORCES TO DEFEND US, RUINED OUR INTERNATIONAL CREDIBILITY, ALL WHILE PERSUING HIS GOALS OF AMERICAN IMPERIALISM THIS PRESIDENT CONSPIRED TO STEAL A FEDERAL ELECTION, MISMANAGED THE AMERICAN ECONOMY , ABUSED AND EXPANDED THE POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, OPERATED A CLOSED ADMINISTRATION, REFUSED TO HAND OVER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS TO INVESTIGATORS, THREATENED OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS, ESTABLISHED AN UNDEMOCRATIC PUPPET GOVERNMENT OVER A FOREIGN NATION, AND WIDENED THE POLITICAL DIVISIONS AMONG AMERICANS.THIS PRESIDENT WILLFULLY DESCRATED INDIAN BURIAL MOUNDS, ADVOCATED RACIAL SEGREGATION, OPPOSED UNCHECKED IMMIGRATION AND CALLED ON THOSE WITH DIFFERENT CULTURES TO DISCARD THEM IN FAVOR OF THE DOMINANT “WHITE” CULTURE, AND EVEN ORIGINATED A BILL THAT CALLED FOR SODOMY TO BE PUNISHIBLE BY CASTRATION. THIS PRESIDENT FAILED TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND GAVE HIS SUPPORT TO CORPORATIONS WHOSE OPERATIONS THREATENED THE SURVIVAL OF ENDANGERED ANIMALSTHIS PRESIDENT ON. · Jefferson tried and FAILED TO CREATE AN INTERNATIONAL COLLITION to police the Mediterranean against Muslim Terrorists (Barbary Pirates) attacking American Merchant Vessels · Jefferson launched a UNI-LATERAL WAR against Muslim Terrorists (Barbary Pirates) in order to secure trade if Africa and the Middle East. · The WAR-MONGERING Jefferson was always on the lookout for ways to take the Floridas from Spain. Jefferson said, “I had rather have war against Spain than not, if we go to war against England. Our Southern Defensive force can take the Floridas, volunteers for a Mexican army will flock to our standard, and a rich pabulum will be offered to our privateers in the plunder of their commerce and coasts. Probably Cuba would add itself to our confederation”· Jefferson established AMERICAN IMPERIALISM via the principle of manifest Destiny as it concerned western lands. · Jefferson slow rolled the American Naval build-up, reducing INTERNATIONAL CREDIBILITY with France and England and Spain, all of whom took advantage of the opportunity to seize American cargos and impress American sailors.

Jefferson CONSPIRED TO STEAL A FEDERAL ELECTION with Aaron Burr, who, through various intrigues, secured the New York state electoral voters for Jefferson. In return, Burr was put on the ticket for Vice President.

· Jefferson introduced an embargo against the France and England designed to deter them from acts against American Vessels that in effect only ruined the AMERICAN ECONOMY · Jefferson ABUSED AND EXPANDED THE POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND THREATENED OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS by introducing measures that included the ability to seize property and to prevent the departure of vessels as part of the embargo, and unconstitutionally made a treaty with France and bought the Louisiana territory without the treaty being approved by the Senate and without funds for the purchase being approved by congress.· Jefferson OPERATED A CLOSED ADMINISTRATION by restricting official opportunities to meet with the President to members of Congress and those invited to dinner (where political topics were banned),holding no public addresses or levees and almost never making public statements and all the while keeping the unconstitutional Negotiations with France over the Louisiana purchase secret from the American public. · Jefferson REFUSED TO HAND OVER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS TO INVESTIGATORS in the case of Marbury vs. Madison · Once the Louisiana purchase was signed, Jefferson ESTABLISHED AN UNDEMOCRATIC PUPPET GOVERNMENT for the Territory, appointing a Magistrate and a council of “notables”. Louisiana was essentially a Foreign country with a diverse population of English, French, Spanish and Creole. Jefferson believed they were “as yet incapable of self-government as children” and ignored delegations and petitions from the territory asking for representative government.· Jefferson WIDENED THE POLITICAL DIVISIONS AMONG AMERICANS by refusing to honor appointments made by the previous administration (Marbury), encouraging and funding libel suits against his political opponent’s publications while paying others to libel his opponents in the press ( Jefferson was proved to have colluded with and supported James Callender by letters written in his own hand), leaking confidential information to the press and penning the anti-administration Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions while a member of the administrations therein criticized· Jefferson DESCRATED INDIAN BURIAL MOUNDS on his property by digging through them and plowing over them· Jefferson ADVOCATED RACIAL SEGREGATION and believed Black people could not live in peace in the same vicinity as white.· Jefferson believed UNCHECKED IMMIGRATION should be avoided, fearing the immigrants would “bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, …or if able to throw them off , it will be in exchange for unbounded licentiousness” · Jefferson believed the Native Indians should discard their old ways IN FAVOR OF THE DOMINANT “WHITE” CULTURE as their hunter/gather society could not be sustained with the increased population of white settlers. · Jefferson drafted a bill for Proportioning Crimes and punishments in which Sodomy was PUNISHIBLE BY CASTRATION · Jefferson THREATENED THE SURVIVAL OF ENDANGERED ANIMALS by trying to encourage the sale of Whale Oil in markets overseas. Jefferson is universally hailed by both the right and the left as one of top three Presidents. The point was not to malign him, but show how effectively half-truths can spin can be used in the media to make ANYONE look bad. Jefferson set the right expectations for a President in his first inaugural address:“I have learned to expect that it will rarely fall to the lot of imperfect man to retire from his station with the reputation and the favor that bring him into it…. I shall often go wrong through defect of Judgment. When right I shall often be thought wrong by those whose positions that will not command the view of the whole ground. I ask for your indulgence for my own errors, which will never be intentional; and your support against the errors of others, who may condemn what they would not if seen”
